yes, but putting stuff there is always an active task of the sysadmin. And a sysadmin has very fine granular control when doing so (e.g. she could choose to use a different path, that's only visible for one particular service). This is imho missing from the approach as seen in the upload. Oh, one thing that hasn't been discussed by motu-release is actually the effect on the passenger package, as posted by the server team meeting minutes. In this regard, I'd like to bring your attention however to [1], without further comments. Finally, whatever MC should choose as resolution, I'd like to add to please do it in a short time frame, so that intrepid won't possibly get affected by last-minute changes. Cheers, Stefan. -- [1]: <http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/revu1- incoming/passenger-0808222010/passenger-2.0.3/debian/postinst> -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
